Throughout his long career, Larry has booked names like Sheryl Crow, Justin Timberlake, John Legend, Jon Bon Jovi, The B-52’s, Steely Dan, ZZ Top, Diana Ross, Hall & Oates, Willie Nelson, Chicago, Bonnie Raitt, and Jackson Browne.

More than anything else, he’s known for bringing people and musicians together to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences. According to Farber himself, everything starts from a good idea.
